The people demand a change not withstanding the influence of any social clique. Men whoare afraid to do their duty should retire. The negro’ democrats are in the soup. What has become of the great things Mr. Cleveland intendedto do for the negro? The Bolivian thing of the past. There is nothing in the democrat- ic party for the negro. ministership is a If things continue as they are the country will go to ruin. A bastardy law is what the peo- ple want this Congress to ,enact. Solmon G. Brown is a man of the people. Cox can only blame himselt for his conviction. A little more faith and sincerity in men who can do you good is what the negro wants. If Levi P. Morton is elected gov- enor of New York he will be the candidate in ’96. Republican judges are opposed to the negro. There is a prevailing sentiment against the recent nominees of ex- President Harrison. Small men have no business to be appointed judges. an Colored Ameri can. independent There are exceptions to some of the Judges now on the bench. The exception is but one.

Very delightful bodices are made of watered silk; cerise is the most popular shades. Violet moire or satin sleeves are favor- ed by Worth, who is a good authority, with silk or wollen gowns, Worth also claims that, velet — trim- ming enriches the light summer fabrics even more than the winter gounds; and is in favor of it. Half circular skirts, round skirts and large sleeves are still in vogue. A gown of black basket cloth, trim- med with Incroyable revers of Mal- maison red velvet, covered With white guipure lace, is very handsome. Lace will reign throughout the sum- mer months.

The maid of honor relieves the bride of her boquet at the altar, hands it to the first bridesmaid when it is time for her so assist the bride with her glove, or to throw back the veil; later on she takes it again and presents it to the bride just before she takes her hus- band’s arm and turn from the altar, writes Isabel A. Mallon in the March Ladies’ Home Journal. The bride who is w'se wears a somewhat loose glove on her left hand, so that the removal of it is a very easy matter. A bride always gives her bridesmaids their gloves and usually presents them with some little souvenir of the wedding. The bride- groom usually gives eacha peice of jewelry in whichhis and the bride’s initials are combined. He presents the best man and ushers with their gloves, ties,and very often their scarfpins. Custom has made it proper for the bribegroom to wear a gardenia in his but:onhole, the best man an orchd, and the ushers boquets eituer of white violets, or some other small white flow- er. In entering the church the ushers come first, then the bridesmaids, walk- ing two by two, then the maid of honor alone, then the bride on the arm of her nearest malerelative. In coming out the bride and groom are first, the maid of honor next with the best man, and usually the bridesmaids, each walking with an usher. I say usually because sometimes the b:idesmads walk out together as they came in, with the ushes just tehind them. Indeed, there is no limit to tie different ways in which the bridal party may enter and leave ae church in these ‘‘fin de siecle” jays. ——— FOR THE HOUSEHOLD. After having wiped the book cover free from dust apply fine kerosene oil, rubbing it thoroughly into the leather, being careful, however, that it does not touch the leaves. Silver-handled knives are liked best for general use, as when the handles are composed of other materials they are apt to become loosened from care- less handling and washing. Sprinkle oil of pennyroyal about the | place which are infested by ants, being ‘careful, as thisis a poison, to place the bottle containing it where it may not be mistaken for medicine. Silk portieres may be woven in the same manner as carpet rags if desired, but this is hardly desirable,as_ it makes them very heavy: A loo-ly-wov- encurtin proves more satisfactory. Scratches may be removed from highly-polished_ wood by rubbing with a woolen rag which has been saturated with boiled linseed oil. Shellac dis- solved in alcohol may then be used as a varnish. Miss Lucy Moten called on Mrs. Cleveland last week and had an in- terview with her on the district re- cordership, Miss Moten informed the Bre sometime ago that she was @ Cleverlandnite. x ee Li ° Y OUR BLANKETS = COMFORTS.
